Kevin Morby as well as solo project Hand Habits (Meg Duffy, guitarist for Morby's band) going all over. Morby (ex-Woods, ex-Babies) is one of the best songwriters working today. Hand Habits' album is one of the best of the year. I can't speak to the groups playing the February PNW dates (Jay Som or Japanese Breakfast), but the Morby / Hand Habits shows are a no-brainer.

Yknow E, I don't know if
Y'know, E, I don't know if Kevin Morby has been in a band with pedal steel. Woods has had some unusual arrangements over the years; their last two albums have incorporated the ethio-jazz sound pretty heavily. He jettisoned from them long before that, though.
The album before his last (2016, Singing Saw) doesn't have any steel that I can think of. The title track might be as close as it gets. It features the eponymous instrument, too (an actual singing saw):
https://youtu.be/IB12I9sqlUI
"Dorothy" is probably my favorite from that one, though:
https://youtu.be/pWDvlekoPkg
>> they haz goods?
I think they do. Jonas is pretty demonstrative of the type of person who wouldn't be into this music, so proceed with caution -- if you're expecting a band full of white dudes with bad hair doing the most recent ode to the endless jamband / classic rock tropes, this probably isn't the thing. If you like basic tenets of songcraft -- you know, actual songs, good arrangements, etc -- you won't be disappointed.
Check out the first link in this post, I think it's a good barometer of his band. Singing Saw is more freak folk, this year's City Music is a bit more indie rock fare. Both excellent titles, both produced a bunch of great songs with bizarro videos.

Great list. Some solid year-end best-ofs on there. Anna St. Louis' album might be the best of the year, period.
